The Nuance of today has little to nothing in common with the post-acquisition Nuance. It's really name-only at this point. Some of their speech technology has been incorporated into the Nuance 9 engine. There are some profesional services employees and perhaps a few product engineers. Most of the speech engine developers quit and tried to join Yahoo (http://news.cnet.com/Yahoo-accused-of-poaching-speech-engine...).
